What should a cleaning invoice include?
Business name and contact, client name and property address, service date, cleaning services performed (specific: standard, deep, move-out), line-item prices with any add-ons broken out, subtotal, total, and payment instructions. Billgami builds all of this by default; you fill in the numbers.
How do I invoice recurring cleaning clients?
Save the client and property once. Every future visit reuses the details. Build the invoice by tapping the services performed (standard visit + any add-ons that week), send the PDF. For monthly billing, wait until end-of-month to send one invoice covering four weekly visits.
How do I structure a deep clean vs standard clean invoice?
Save both as separate service line items in your library: 'Standard residential cleaning' at your weekly rate, 'Deep cleaning service' at your higher one-time rate. Drop whichever applies into the invoice. For deep cleans, consider sending an estimate first so the client sees the higher cost before you arrive.
Can I estimate a move-out clean before the visit?
Yes. Build an estimate with a 'Move-out deep clean' line item and any add-ons (oven interior, windows, cabinets). Send the PDF, wait for client approval, then convert to the invoice after the visit. One tap turns the estimate into the invoice.
What is the best cleaning invoice app?
For solo cleaners doing residential work with repeat clients, Billgami covers the essentials (client save, service reuse, PDF invoice, estimate, status tracking) at a one-time price. For cleaning crews with dispatch needs, Jobber and Housecall Pro fit better. There is no universal best; it depends on whether you need the paperwork layer or the operations layer.
Does Billgami process cleaning-client payments?
No. Billgami never processes card payments and never holds funds. Clients pay you directly through Zelle, Venmo, check, cash, or a card reader you already have. You mark the invoice paid when the payment lands.
Can I send a cleaning invoice from my phone right after the job?
Yes. Preview the invoice, share the PDF through email or text before you leave the property. Client gets the invoice while the work is still fresh. Works offline; PDF generation does not need cellular.
How does Billgami compare to a cleaning invoice template?
A cleaning invoice template is a static file (Google Doc, Word, PDF) that you fill in and export. Fine for occasional invoicing. Billgami is a full app that saves clients and services so the next 50 invoices build in seconds. For repeat cleaning work, an app scales; a template gets tedious. See the paired cleaning invoice guide for template context.
Can commercial cleaning clients get a year of invoices for their records?
Yes. Every invoice stays exportable. At year-end (or any time), export all invoices for a specific client and share the record. Useful for commercial property managers, accountants, or tax preparation.
How much does Billgami cost for cleaners?
Four tiers on the App Store: Free, $14.99 monthly, $111.99 annual, or $249.99 lifetime. Current prices are on the App Store listing. No per-invoice fee, no cleaner tier.
